Read the first 7 Aircraft Maintenance flashcards as text

  1. Under which FAR part is a business aviation flight department typically required to use a Continuous Airworthiness Maintenance Program (CAMP) rather than annual/100-hour inspections?

    Answer: Part 91 Subpart K and Part 135 for aircraft with 10 or more passenger seats

    Part 91 Subpart K fractional programs and Part 135 operators of larger aircraft must maintain aircraft under a CAMP.

  2. An aviation manager discovers an aircraft flew with an overdue Airworthiness Directive (AD). What is the most immediate consequence?

    Answer: The aircraft was legally unairworthy during those flights

    Operating with an AD not complied with by its deadline renders the aircraft unairworthy and violates FAR 39.7.

  3. Which document must a mechanic record a maintenance entry in before an aircraft is approved for return to service?

    Answer: The aircraft maintenance records (logbooks)

    FAR 43.9 requires maintenance entries in the aircraft's maintenance records before return to service.

  4. A flight department wants to defer repair of an inoperative item on a turbojet and continue flying. Under Part 91, what generally allows this?

    Answer: An approved Minimum Equipment List (MEL) with a Letter of Authorization

    An FAA-issued Letter of Authorization makes the approved MEL the vehicle for legally deferring inoperative equipment.

  5. In budgeting for maintenance, which cost model spreads engine overhaul expenses into a predictable per-flight-hour accrual?

    Answer: An hourly engine maintenance program such as a power-by-the-hour plan

    Guaranteed hourly maintenance programs convert large, irregular overhaul costs into predictable per-hour accruals.

  6. Which inspection concept applies calendar time, flight hours, or cycles to determine when a component must be removed regardless of condition?

    Answer: Hard-time limit

    Hard-time items must be overhauled or replaced at fixed intervals regardless of apparent condition.

  7. A CAM should recognize that a Service Bulletin (SB) issued by the manufacturer is generally what for a Part 91 operator?

    Answer: Advisory unless mandated by an AD or required by the operator's program

    Service Bulletins are optional for most Part 91 operators unless incorporated by an AD or the operator's own approved program.
